Production Costs
Materials produced for use by faculty in direct support of instruction
will incur minimal, if any, charges. The ITS staff time and the majority
of materials will be provided at no cost. When it is necessary to use
student labor or more expensive materials, these costs may be charged
to the academic department. Non-instructional materials for academic departments
will be produced at a minimal charge.
ITS will produce materials for non-academic departments as long as
the they are in support of the instructional mission of SDSU. The department
will be charged for the full cost of all materials.
The production of items for a program that is funded with other than
State monies, such as grants, will be billed for full labor and materials
costs. These costs can be significant and should be determined prior
to the beginning of a project.
Ownership Policy
When materials are prepared for faculty by Instructional Technology Services
they are considered to have "Partial Institutional Support"
and are covered by the SDSU Intellectual Property Policy. Assignment of
copyright, reimbursement for the use of State resources and distribution
of revenues generated by these materials are governed by the provisions
of this policy. When the finished copy is released to the department,
the department assumes responsibility for inventory and storage of the
finished product.
An instructor who is the primary author of materials produced by Instructional
Technology Services may elect to reserve copyright privileges through
payment of all labor, materials and other direct expenses associated
with the development and production of the materials.
An instructor who requests instructional or research materials produced
by Instructional Technology Services may obtain a personal copy of such
materials by payment of the labor and materials costs involved in reproducing
the copy.
Copyright Policy
Instructional Technology Services and San Diego State University observe
all U.S. and international copyright laws. Here are some links to copyright
information that we hope you find helpful:
CCTV Use Policy
A program provided by faculty for use on the Closed Circuit Television
System must be a legal copy. It will be the responsibility of the person
supplying the tape to provide documentation if necessary. Proof of purchase
or written permission from the copyright holder is normally required before
such tapes may be played through the CCTV system.
Guidelines for Off-air Recording
Videotape materials for classroom use can be acquired by the licensing
of off-air recorded television programs. Faculty members may request
the recording of any broadcast program and certain cable channel programs.
Congressional off-air recording
guidelines permit the use of such material in the classroom for
the first ten school days following the broadcast. It is then retained
for forty-five calendar days for preview purposes. For extended use
beyond the 10/45 day period, written permission must be obtained or
a license must be acquired. If licensing is not permitted, a prerecorded
copy of the program must be purchased and the off-air recording erased.
